The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a periodical of medical writing published in 1827, in Thorofare, New Jersey, for physicians and medical readers. Its engravings are small, plain line drawings of medical appliances and a patient, including a padded neck or shoulder support with ruffled edging, a U-shaped frame with a pulley-like fitting, and a figure wearing a high fur-like collar; a designer might take from them the crisp, schematic look of early nineteenth-century medical diagrams.
